Where Allen’s text does engage with other East Asian martial traditions, typically Judo, Aikido, or Karate-Do, it appears to do so on the assumption that the Chinese concepts in question remain unmodified by their introduction into a new cultural situation. For Allen’s text to go further, he must recognize that the philosophical sys- tems in question underwent changes to suit the needs of their new cultural situation. This point is most salient as Allen appears to recognize the cultural changes that, for example, allowed White Crane to intermix with the indigenous arts of the Ryukyu Islands to form Karate, yet this understanding does not fully extend to his understand- ing of philosophy. Allen’s text makes an excellent entry into a philosophical study of the Chinese martial arts and their philosophical origins, as well as providing the groundwork for the use of the philosophical study of the martial arts as a field of comparative phi- losophy. However, as a comprehensive examination of the Asian martial traditions and their philosophical presupposition, it should be understood that Striking Beauty is a philosophical look at the East Asian martial arts and their relation to Chinese philosophy.
